Absolutely loved our stay at the Boathouse. The location in wine country is perfect- you can easily walk to several wineries, and the home itself was well stocked with all the supplies you need. I also need to comment on the decor- well styled and so adorable- everything is so well pulled together and quaint. We used the outdoor tub every night and enjoyed the stars too. Totally recommend.

The Boathouse is a special dream for a creative couple. It is gorgeous and so authentically French in style you could be in Bordeaux somewhere. The huge outdoor bath while you watch the stars is a special experience. Warm and friendly communication from the hosts. A short drive to Arrowtown. Highly recommended.

You will love everything about this beautiful property! The photos don't do it justice! The location and view is beautiful and I imagine would be at any time of the year! Every comfort has been thought of in this spotless, cosy, comfortable charming cottage! Shelley the owner has a fantastic eye for interior design! I'd get her to style my own home if I could! You are literally in walking distance of lovely wineries and it's a central location to visit all local attractions. Owners are on site, they are lovely charming people but are invisible unless you need them. Don't think about this place, just book it, you won't be disappointed. We hope to return in ski season! Thank you!

We have stayed across the road at Kinross for years and are glad we tried things out across the road at this bach. Loved our stay and looking forward to returning!

This is a charming accomodation both inside and out. We enjoyed the view and outside space as much as the inside, french country rooms. Clean, spacious and well appointed, we would return.

A hidden gem! Quite a dainty cottage! The outdoor bath is heavenly! Well looked after section is fenced so our dog could run free on the property and explore. 🐶There also is a vege patch and many fruit trees there. I enjoyed few sweet pea snaps 😋 and fresh cous lettuce. There’s an outdoor dining area where we enjoyed our meals. We surely will go back.

The Boathouse is special. We loved everything about our stay there. It is warm and welcoming in a “quirky” way. Shelley and Neil are excellent hosts and made us feel most welcome. The location is stunning and the outdoor bath was the icing on the cake. If we’re ever back in New Zealand, we would love to return.

We had a relaxing stay at the Boathouse and enjoyed meeting our hosts Shelley and Neil. They are super nice people and gave us good recommendations. The house is super clean, well-stocked, private and very comfortable. The woodstove warmed the chilly mornings. The outdoor tub is super cool though we didn't use it. It was a great location for us for wine tasting and sight seeing. Honestly, the Boathouse is the most charming place we've ever had the pleasure of visiting and being there felt like a warm hug! Thank you Shelley and Neil!

The boathouse visit was one of the most beautiful stays we could have hoped for. Gorgeous rustic french style vibes. The location is idyllic and surrounded by stunning vistas and countryside. Arrowtown and other visits moments away. Shelley and Neil were wonderful hosts. We will definitely be back! Thanks for a wonderful stay. Ruth

Faultless. Absolutely beautiful, peaceful, tranquil but oh so close to excellent wineries and food. Our dog just loved the freedom of being able to wander around in the fully fenced large section, all the while chasing the bunnies. Communication with owners was fluid and easy. So easy to have stayed longer and we will definitely return.

We absolutely loved our stay in this gorgeous valley in central Otago. The Boathouse is an absolute delight - beautifully decorated, warm and comfortable, with everything you might need. The property is perfect for dogs, and Shelley, Neil and Dudley are lovely hosts - very warm and welcoming, and full of suggestions for local walks and bike rides . We will definitely be back for another stay!

Exquisite in every way

Exquisite in every way

Every detail conceivable and full luxury right down to the linen sheets; the spontaneous idea to have a soak in the outdoor bath, under the stars and moonlit at 4am was unforgettable, Dudley the dog adorable beyond belief, the sound of the river rapids rushing in the distance - and totally authentic French style; we’ve all been to France with two of us having lived and worked there - if you can’t get to France come and luxuriate at the BoatShed - you will absolutely and utterly be back in the South of France.... thank you so much from all of us.
